To
reduce the dumping of waste in landfills, Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike
(BBMP) is adopting a holistic approach to dispose of different types of waste.
Last month, BBMP called for an expression of interest from service providers
who have the technology, manpower and infrastructure to process different kinds
of waste. According to BBMP Chief Engineer (Solid Waste Management) Venkatesh,
they have received 80 applications, including 17 online.

Joint Commissioner

waste and a few for disposal of construction and sanitary waste.
